Horse Power
November 6, 2014
Read:
Job 39:19-25
Think for a moment of the power, beauty, and majesty of a galloping horsehis head held high, his mane flying in the wind, and his legs working in unison to provide speed, power, and abandon.
What a wonderful example of Gods magnificent creation is the horse! God created it not just for our amazement and enjoyment but also as a complement to the human race (Job 39). Properly trained, the horse is fearless when we need a courageous companion. The horse was used to carry the soldier faithfully into conflict with speed (v.24) and anticipation (v.25).
Although God was using creation to teach Job about His sovereignty, we can also be reminded through this passage about our own value in Gods world. We are created not simply as a beautiful creature with a job to do but also as a creature made in Gods image. The power of the horse is amazing, but the value of each human transcends all other creatures.
God created us uniquely to have a relationship with Him and to live with Him forever. While we praise God for the magnificence of the creatures of nature, we also stand in awe that we are fearfully and wonderfully made (Ps. 139:14).
Thank You, our Almighty God and Father, for Your
creation. You have provided so many majestic
creatures for us to enjoy, but help us to recognize
with thankfulness the special place we have in creation.
Of all Gods creation, only humans can experience re-creation.
In the midst of his pain (Job 13), Job seeks to understand why he has to suffer so much. Instead of explaining why He allowed evil to exist or human beings to suffer (chs. 437), God confronted and confounded Job with more questions concerning His creation. Job 3842 is not an explanation of why man has to suffer, but a revelation of who God is! God reveals Himself as Creator (ch. 38), Sustainer (ch. 39), and Controller of all creation (chs. 4042). Job didnt need to fully understand cosmology, meteorology, zoology, hippology, or Gods immutable ways (Isa. 55:8-9). He only needed to trust the omnipotent and transcendent Creator God who is very compassionate and merciful (James 5:11; see Job 42:2-3).

Must retire for the evening - I was up really late last night watching returns - I can't keep my eyes open.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you sally forth today?
How’s the news in Maryland?
Begich is down 8,000 votes, but won’t concede. The radio folks don’t think it’s possible that he can gain enough votes from the absentee ballots. *sigh* I cannot wait for him to be gone!!!! He lies almost as much as obummer.
